Metaplanet's Ambitious Bitcoin Strategy

Metaplanet Inc., a leading Japanese Bitcoin firm, has unveiled a groundbreaking strategy to cement its status as a global leader in corporate Bitcoin holdings. The company plans to raise ¥116.65 billion (approximately $745 million) through the issuance of 21 million shares, setting a new record for Asia's largest equity capital raise aimed at Bitcoin investment.

2025-2026 Bitcoin Plan

With this significant funding, Metaplanet is set to embark on its ambitious 2025-2026 Bitcoin Plan. The goal is ambitious yet clear: to acquire 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2025 and to double that figure to 21,000 by the end of 2026. "Our mission is to maximize Bitcoin per share for our shareholders. Bitcoin is not just an asset; it’s the exit strategy," stated Dylan LeClair, Metaplanet's Director of Bitcoin Strategy. The company's current holdings exceed 1,700 Bitcoin, showcasing its commitment to this digital asset.

Quarterly Bitcoin Yield Target

Looking ahead, Metaplanet's 2025 guidance includes a target of achieving a 35% Bitcoin yield per quarter. The focus will be on expanding the company's treasury to 10,000 Bitcoin by the end of the year, further solidifying its position in the Bitcoin market.
